Whippets are extremely sensitive to anesthesia and barbiturates so there is a good amount of risk to him should he be surgically fixed. It is my understanding that there is an injectable product called neutersol (or something like that) which will render him sterile but won't reduce hormones.....? Anyone experienced with this product? I'm still on the fence as far as what to do. Being a sighthound and very very fast he will not be left to roam off lead- making puppies isn't really a true concern of mine. I think I may end up waiting this out to see how his behaviour is as he matures... just don't let Bob Barker know, K?

As far as food he's 3 months now and the vet did suggest switching him over to an adult food starting @ 4 months. He is currently on a grain free commercial puppy food and will remain with the same brand should I switch to the adult version.

Are Whippets common on this board?
